Application filed August 3, 1914. Serial No. 854,812.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM P. UNDER- HILL, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at East Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in RollingWindow-Screens; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and'us'e thesame.

This invention relates to rolling window screens, and one of theprincipal objects of the invention is to provide simple, reliable andetlicient means for connecting a window screen to a spring actuatedroller and for mounting the roller underneath a hood at the outside ofthe window and means for connecting the lower edge ofthe screen maiterial to a strip or roller having its ends reduced and mounted in guideways in the sides of the window frame, so that the screen may be readilymoved up and down and connected to the window sill when lowered inposition for use.

The foregoing and other objects may be attained by means of theconstruction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a front elevation oi? the upper portion of the rollingwindow screen with the hood or cover removed. Fig. 2 is a similar viewin which the cover or hood is shown in place, Fig 3 is a verticalsectional view taken through the roller and the hood, Fig. 4: is asimilar view looking at the opposite end of die roller. Fig. 5 is adetail sectional view of one of tho guide ways for the roller at the endof the screen material, and Fig. 0 is a plan vim-w ol' llubracket I'mthesquared pintlu of the sort-on roller.

elm-ring tothe drawings. the numeral 1 dcsignates'a window shade rollerol' ordi nary construction, and 2 is the bracket secured outside to thewindow frame, and provided with a rectangular pintle bearing 3 for thesquared pintle ol' the roller. Upon the opposite side of the windowframe is a bracket 4- having a round bearing for the providing twolaterally extending feet to be connected to oppositely disposed cleats10 and said feet and cleats are connected to the window frame outsidethe window by means of suitable fastenings 11. The screen material isdesignated by the letter a.

Extending over the roller carryingthe screen material is a hood orprotector 12 which is secured to the window casing by means of a plate13 and suitable fastenings let. The hood 12 is provided with end tabs orcovers 15. The roller or cross bar 6 is provided with a ring 16 designedto be connected to a pin or nail secured to the window sill at the lowerportion thereof. The roller 6 being substantially the length representedby the distanec between the two guide members 8 will prevent any sidemovement or irregular winding of the screen material upon the roller 1,and will insure a smooth action of the screen material. From theforegoing it will be obvious that a window screen made in accordancewith this invention can be rolled up out of the way when not requiredfor use, and can be quickly drawn down and secured whenever required.

Various changes may be made in the detail of construction withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in theclaim.
